THE STATE SHOOT.
What the Frontier Guards say about It.

The Frontier Guards Rifle Team returned
from the State Shoot at Augusta last Thurs
dav via Calais. The team won two of three
first prizes offered those for the team shoot
and novelty match. In the company skir-
mish match they were defeated and the flag
won by the company year ago was lost.
1t must be remembered that this company
skirmsh match for the silk flag, has always
before been shot for by full company of
SO men and never by team of ten men
picked from a company. The Frontier
Guards won the flag last year and lost it this
year without chance to shoot for it. 1t is a
manifest injustice to the company, but as the
team chosen to represent them in team
shoot, consented to have the flag put mp for
competition in a match between ten men
from each company, they make no protest
but cheerfully abide the result, confident
that as a company, their score cannot be
matched in the State. Special prizes for
individual shooting were awarded to Davis
Loring, Charles Corthell, Jesse Rumery,s +.
A. Holmes and J. ID. Young. The boys
speak of their trip with the highest praise for
those having the affair in charge and pleas
ant time was had by all who attended,

A row between the editors of the Shreve-

mentioned in Thursdays dispatches is still
the all absorbing topic of conversation. Chsl-

ago between Prickett of the Democrat and
Schaefer of the Times, and shot guns at 20
PAGES were agreed upon, but the law officers
have so far prevented meeting.
Nearly the whole community has taken
part on one side or the other, and collision
and street fight with deadly results, is liable
to occur at any moment.
Some twenty persons from whom trouble
was apprehended, have been arrested ,includ-

others.
The principals have thus far evaded ar
rest and no one seems to know the where
abouts of either.

JUDGE HILTON
Is Sued by Another Litigant for Portion
of the Stewart Estate.

NEw YORK. Oct. 2S.
Judge Hilton and other benifciaries under
the will of the late Mrs. Stewart, have found
another litigant in the person of Rosalie
Butler. Her petition was filed in Surrogate
and asked that probate be revoked, asserting &
fraud by undue influence. She claims that
the original will dated July 5, 1877, with
codicil running down to Nov. 80, 1885, ap-
pointing Henry Hilton, and Chas. Clinch
executors was not the last will of Mrs.
Stewart. She further asserts that these
papers were obtained through fraud and in
huence of Henry Hilton. The certain por-
tions of the will and codicils especially
mentioned as having been procured through
fraud are those giving bequests and powers
to Judge Hilton. Miss Butler is the daugh.
